You know if the AA guys had their way they'd make an interface like the Retron 77 homebrew version, right?

tradyblix Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 (edited) I finally have real sports boxing working now with the new dumper 1.1.0.9, it wasn't working in 1.1.0.2 which came out with 1.1 beta. So thanks to the developers who have been working on this. You are improving the lives of folks in the real world. I'm able to do a little nostalgic boxing tonight thanks to y'all. *edit* perhaps more importantly (to me) Double Dragon 7800 now loads. I now have 0 personal carts that don't work Meanwhile Stella's paddle emulation still isn't right on Super Breakout, but I guess that's not stellas fault 🤔🤫 Edited January 20 by tradyblix 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes in addition to Double Dragon, Rampage 7800 is also now working. However, 7800 Double Dragon does exhibit some odd control issues for me in my testing. And it will seem to speed up on gameplay occasionally similar to how Tower Toppler was. I need to get about recording some of the video directly to send to the guys so they can 'see' this more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. I haven't really noticed this yet, but it's not like Double Dragon is the greatest game on 7800 anyway. And all I do is elbows lol. Still, I'm stoked it works now. It's a neat "look at this" type item. Especially on 2600+ lol. Edited January 20 by tradyblix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that is likely due to the other issue we are actively working to resolve. Also, the dumper is one half of the equation. There are a number of fixes in the image itself (7800 side). Need to coordinate that release with Ben, but we (@RevEng and myself) are currently focusing on resolving some of the issues like @-^CrossBow^- mentioned above. Chris.

However, I didn't try very hard as the "red" copy worked first time and I chalked it up to problematic cart. I could be wrong, it's possible. There's a lot of variables when testing games.

Thanks very much for working on this machine, it's only gotten significantly better since I got it. I know there are still some issues and maybe some of the issues will be hardware related and not fixable, But I wanted you guys to know people out here are relying on this piece of "second class hardware" for their Atari addictions. 😇 Edited January 20 by tradyblix sarcasm quotes 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely lots of variables. I have a perfect looking Threshold cart that doesn't work at all and another identical looking cart that works fine. This is my Venture cart that has worked on every revision of the firmware, including the shipped / stock firmware 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These carts are both pristinely clean and one has never loaded and the other has never failed to load. 40 year old carts, I guess there has to be some duff ones out there. Thankfully, amazingly few in my experience Edited January 20 by Dr Karnov 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Karnov Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Threshold is really good though. Definitely one of the best games of it's type that I've played on 2600. Very difficult 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Karnov Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I really like Tigervision games. The only weird thing is that my least favourite one is Jawbreaker, and I think that's the one that is the most highly regarded. I would say Marauder and Polaris are top tier, Threshold is very good, and King Kong is pretty fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Stamos Mullet Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Coleco Rev 3 carts are indeed working! I don’t have the M-Network games to test and 16k games don’t work with Harmony on the 2600+ yet. very nice! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
